Vinnie Paul’s Musical Journey: Harmonizing on and off the pitch
Nicolas Gonzalez, a winger for Fiorentina, is a target for Manchester United
According to reports, Manchester United have decided to target Nicolas Gonzalez, an attacker for Fiorentina.
For lengthy portions of last season, the Red Devils failed to score.
The club has already brought in Joshua Zirkzee to try to solve this problem, and now that Jadon Sancho is back with the senior team, they have even more choices.
But, even if the club has had trouble moving players, new owners Ineos are determined to strengthen the roster before the transfer season closes. Ivan Toney has been linked to the club once again, fueling speculation that they may seek to bolster the attack.
United are reportedly considering a surprise option to strengthen their attack, according to Spanish publication Marca (via Fichajes.com).
A wide margin for surprise is reportedly provided by “the latest target that is now being discussed at Old Trafford.”
“The 26-year-old Argentine Nico González, an integral part of Fiorentina, is high on the list of people the British are interested in.”
Although he is “undoubtedly liked by big teams” and is a “player of great quality,” his transfer would probably “require a high outlay.”
Last season, the Argentine—who won the Copa America in 2021—was sensational for Fiorentina, helping them to a Conference League final with 16 goals and five assists.
A 26-year-old who “can fulfil multiple roles” has been described as an offensive powerhouse.
“He possesses a winger’s quickness and deftness in one-on-one situations, an attacking midfielder’s eye for space, and a striker’s ability to get into good finishing positions and convert them.”
United would be short-handed on the wings if they were to sell Antony or Jadon Sancho were to leave, so Gonzalez’s versatility may be an asset.
Zirkzee has been under a lot of strain because new signing Rasmus Hojlund missed the first six weeks of the season due to injury; hence, the acquisition of another scorer will undoubtedly help the settling in process for the Dutchman.
